The mother of to-day is paying marked
attention to her son. The girl has been
left to take care of herself. You don't
believe this? Look about you and see
for yourself. In the vernaculas of the
street the mother of to-day is mashed"
on her boy. He supplants his fathers
place in many respects. He goes off to
the watering place with his mother, while
his sister Is often sent to some friend or
relation. The father stays at home
that goes without saying. The boy is not
so expensive at the seaside, or
wherever the place may be
where his mother has gone to cover up
the crows feet. He can take care of him
self, and doesn't have to be mixed up in
the train Of memma's tea-gown or even
ing dress. There is growing impres-
sion that daughter means more years
for the mother. mother talks about
her young man with apparent pride.
When the daughter begins to crawl
through the teens the mother is not apt
to advertise the fact. The misfortune of
all this is that it is tending to make boys
effeminate. From this the dude. A boy
who grows up the darling of his mamma
won't .'get there" as q rule. But if this
is q misfortune there remains the conso-
lation that the neglected girls, seeing
that they must take care of themselves,
become better women. The average boy

peptic His mamma INDUCES him in
carameis, cigarettes and late hours She
dotes on him Oar girls are growing

sent to her music or her books or the
gymnasium. The next generation of wo-
men will be creditable to the SEX Take

Judge Young. The demurrer was over

W. w. Erwin and Mr.. Welch was his own

of by the st. Paul newspapers as an able
one. They then have this of Mr.. Welch's
argument, which, as it is somewhat char
aeteristic is given IN full:
The concluding speaker was Mr.. Welch
himself He did not confne himself
wholly TO arguing law point, but INDUCED
in some side illusions, many of them of
personal character. He said he was
willing to have all tho indictments put
into one, and would gladly meet it. He
said that Villas would not give him the
records when he asked for them. Mr..

Electricity from Fuel.


Mr.. Edison's paper, read before the As
soclation for the Advancement of Science
in New York, was to the effect that the in
ventor had consummated his endeavor to
find a way by which the energy latent in
coal could be made to appear az electric
energy directly by means of little trans
forming apparatus, ana had made such
an appliance of principle that tho mag
netism of magnetic metals, anG especially
iron, cobalt and nickel, is differently af
fected by heat, as to accom- plish the re-
suit he desired. Whenever a magnetic
fluid varies in strength in the vicinity of
conductor, Mr.. Edison explains, current
is generated in that conductor. By piac.
ing an iron core in magnetic circuit,
and by varying the magnetlzability of the
core by varying its temperature, current
is generated in coil of wire surrounding
this core. Upon this principle Mr.. EdI-
son has constructed generator of cleo
tricity, which he calls the pYromagnetic
generator-that is to cay, generator Of
electric power by heat and magnetism.
